UCD Graduate wins gold in Moscow

Now this is entirely based on an Aertel report but...

UCD Graduate Derval O'Rourke won gold in the women's 60 metres hurdles in Moscow this evening.

O'Rourke graduated with an Arts degree in 2003 and won two bronze medals at last year's World University games.

Another point of note to UCD fans is that she won the AIB-University Observer Sports Personality of the Year award in 2003.

To date this is one of the rare occasions where the foot.ie poster known as Schumi has worn a shirt and tie that weren't part of his tux.

The full story is here

Oh and Mods please don't move this to Other Sports as it's a UCD related topic. If needs be post a link to the thread there.

I just saw the race on BBC 2 so I can confirm that Aertel were correct!

I thought the link was going to be about Sxhumi's shirt and tie:D

Doesn't she work in DCU?

I think title of this should be "Corkwoman is world champion"....

And Brian O'Driscoll ex-UCD Academy captained the Irish Rugby team to victory yesterday. A great day for the Scholarship programme all round.
